No problem, but please allow me to snip from the bottom... 

I'm using the same compile and link parms (where they are the same), and I am 
compiling NOTEST.     

IIRC, Tom Ross gave several reasons for the increase in program object size 
from 4 to 5.  The only one I can find from his SHARE presentation is on page 82:

"Binder solved existing problems using new features.
A program object can have a text size of up to 1 gigabyte.
COBOL can take advantage of this by having more constants for improved MOVE and 
INITIALIZE performance.
Makes object size bigger"

(From "zOMG The Next COBOL Compiler has Arrived!")

Subject: object/load module sizes - was RE: Enterprise COBOL v5.1 Implemented?

In an attempt to not hijack the thread I'm changing the subject line.  Do you 
have some significant differences in your compile or link parms between COBOL 4 
and COBOL 5?  What would be accounting for the rather significant load module 
size growth between 4 and 5?
